T0 zZZ lwhoA n t may concern 'Re itl known that 1, OSCAR Campeon, a subject bt' the King of Sweden, residing at New York, in the county ot New York and citate of New York, 'have invented certain new vand useful lnprovements in Games; and l do hereby declare'the following to be :L full, clear, and exact description oit the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to games, and has for its primary object to provide a game device including a pivoted arrn having a ball :ulapted to be struck by the player and c0- opcrating parts adapted to indicate the torce with which the ball. is struck.

.Another object of the invention is to provide a device ot' this character which shall be intensely interesting to the players, inexpensive to manufacture and operate, and durable in use.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and formation of parts as `will be hcreii'iattcr specifically described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings. iu which,

Figure 1 represents a front elevation of the game complete. Fig. 2 represents a horizontal sectional view on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. l? ig. 3 represents a vertical sectional View on theA line 3 8 of Fig. 1.

. Referring to the drawing in detail, Wherein similar' reference numerals indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views. the numeral 5 indicates a base prefer ably rectilinear in form and constructed of any suital'ile material such as Wood or metal, and toi-ined at its rear longitudinal end with an upstanding back G terminating a't one cud with an upstanding frame or wire support 7. A. block 8 is secured adiaccnt one end ol" the base 5 and is provided with a pin f? E.ivotall'v supporting` an arm 10 adapted l'or movement in a vertical plane between a pair ot guides 11.. An eye bolt 12 is secured in the base 5 adjacent the end thereof and str aires one end of the spring 13 con-gr nected at itsopposlte end with the medial portion of the upstanding arm 10 and adapted to normally retain the latter in a vertical position against the stop shoulder or abutment 14 carried by the block 8. A suitable ball 15 is secured to the upper end of the arm 1() and is formed of any suitable Speccation of Letters Patent.

material and preferably painted or marked to represent a baseball.

' A distance from the block 8 a second block ,1G is seciufed to the base 5 and 'pivotally supports vhorirontally disposed lever 17 .having at on'e end a circular striker plate 18 adapted to be struck by the ball 13 as the latter is moved downwardly after being struck b v the player. A suitable cushion 0r the like 19n is secured to the base 5 directly under the end of rthe lever 17 carrying the plate 18. The opposite end' of the lever 17 is bifurcatcd as indicated at 18 and suitablyr curved to receive the vertically movable ball 19 having an arial bore through which is slidably received a Wire 20, secured at its lower end to the base 5 and at its upper end to the upper end of the vertically disposed frame T. At the upper end of the Wi e 2O a bell 21 is secured to the frame 7 adapted to be struck or sounded by the ball 19 striking thereagainst. l s 1n use. the player strikes the ball 15 With baseball bator other suitable club driving it downwardly between the curved guides 11 against the striker plate 18 and violently and abruptlv rocking the lever 17 on the block 16. The upi'vard movement of the bifurcated end 18 of the lever throws the ball 1S) upwardly on the wire 20 a distance correspondingV to the force with which the ball` 15 is initially struck. The spring 13 and is automatically returns the arm 10 to its normail vertical position for the nent operation. As shown in Fig. 1` the frame 7 ispreferably marked with 3 lines Q9, the first or bottom line 22 beingT marked 1st B.. the second or next highest 2nd B., and the third. 3rd B. rlhesc markings are intended to indicate the strength exercised by the plaver in striking the ball 15. If the ball 15 is struck with sutlicient force, the vertical slidable ball 19 will be driven upwardly and strike the bell 21, thus sounding an alarm.

1. .fl game device comprising base, a vertically extending frame at one end of said base, a Wire secured at its lower enti to said base, and secured at its upper end to the upper end of said trame, an alarm device at the upper end of said wire, a ball vertically slidable on said'wire, an arm pivotally connected with said base, a ball at, the upper end of *said arm, means to normally hold said ar-n in vertical position, and means intermediate said arm and said Wire adapted 2.
